Sports Photography High School

[JSwanson]

I want to graduate from my Nikon D5600 to Sony for many obvious reasons.  I do a wide variety of photography and love to capture the moments in high school sports from football, Nordic skiing to track. What camera would you recommend and preferred lense? 

 

Thank you!

It really depends on your budget. The top of the line would be the a1 and the 70-200GM2. The a7IV with the 70-200 or 100-400 would also be a good choice, but not as fast and lower resolution

I recommend the a1.  But if it's out of your budget, like it is out of mine, I highly recommend the a9 or a9II for sports.  I personally use the a9 paired with the 70-200 GM1 and 200-600 G for most sports that I shoot.

I’m with @devofields above. If you can get the a1 do it. If that’s not in the budget, the a9 series will give you a great frame rate and auto focus. Plus, you typically don’t need huge megapixels so it fits in perfect. And the 70-200 and 200-600 are two of my favorite lenses.

How much money do you have to spend?

As always...depends on your budget. I think that A9 (I or II) are very good for sports. I have de A1 and is amazing too. 

Always the 70-200 will be very good, but I think that for football you will need something else like 200-600.

The a9ii or the a1 are the cameras you need for sports photography. And the 70-200mm f/2.8 is necessary - after that you may need something longer. Depending on your budget and weather or not you are shooting night football you may need the 400mm f/2.8
